Diamond Head
The pointy peak of Diamond Head forms a dramatic backdrop to Waikiki on Oahu’s south coast. Diamond Head is a State Monument, and a popular lookout point on Oahu.
Formed from volcanic tuff, the crater is part of a geological outcrop of cones, vents and old lava flows, formed from eruptions around 150,000 years ago.
If you’re feeling fit, work out with an exhilarating climb to the top of Diamond Head and take in the city views. The steep round-trip hike takes a couple of hours, with challenging stages of steps and tunnels.
Practical Info
Waikiki Beach runs east to the Diamond Head peninsula. If you’re driving from Waikiki, follow Kalakaua Avenue onto Monsarrat Avenue. Buses run to the monument from Waikiki.
